Evaluation of model performance on Knowledge-based Agent Reasoning tasks using the test split of the KARLBench 1.0 dataset, reporting scores across specialized components like BrowseComp-Plus, FinanceBench, and overall performance.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Knowledge-based Agent Reasoning |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | KARLBench 1.0 (test) |
| Metric | BrowseComp-Plus Score |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 17 of 17 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.
